Betsy | 605 comments Michelle Sagara West is a prolific author of series. One of her most popular is the Chronicles of Elantra, with #8 coming out in a few days and #9 planned. The series seems to exist properly in the database and each of the books seem to link to the series correctly. However, when I go to the author page and scroll down to the series list it's not included on that page, and when I click on More Series by Michelle Sagara West this series also does not show on that page (http://www.goodreads.com/series/list?...).

I'm not sure what the problem might be or how to fix it.

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments I just resaved the series (with 0.5 not primary) and it's showing up now! I wonder what the problem was?

ETA: Huh, it's something about that 0.5 book. When I mark it as primary, the series disappears again. Might want to post this to Feedback and get a dev to check it?

This is a known issue. The series parser expects all primary editions to have whole-number entries. Not sure if that's a bug or not, but it's not likely to be changed any time soon.

Betsy | 605 comments Thanks, Rivka. It's not a big deal as long as people know about it.
